After rehab, Rohit Sharma set to play for Mumbai in Vijay Hazare Trophy
Rohit Sharma has announced that he has completed with his rehabilitation following a thigh surgery and is set to make his comeback with Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Rohit has been out of the game for more than three months after sustaining the injury in India’s fifth ODI against New Zealand in November.
Rohit had opened for India in the preceding Test series but was left out of the squad that played against England. India have gone on to win both series comprehensively with KL Rahul, who replaced Rohit missing out on a double century by just a run. The latter has since been out of any cricketing action as he recovered from his surgery and is now set to make his comeback.
Kerala High Court sends notice to BCCI on lifting S Sreesanth’s lifetime ban
The Kerala High Court sent a petition to the BCCI on Friday for lifting the ban imposed on S Sreesanth. This comes after the former Indian pacer had sent a petition to the Court for the same.
Sreesanth was one of those charged for spot-fixing during the IPL 6 in 2013. In September 2013, the BCCI’s disciplinary committee gave him a life ban from the sport, effectively ending his career. Later in 2015, a Delhi trial court had dismissed all charges levelled on him which effectively meant that it is only the life ban that is stopping him from getting back to playing the sport.
